Fundamental problem; can't see published post

First post here from newly joined creator.

Followed instructions to publish my first post, but a couple of days later its still not visible when I EXPLORE Ghost as a visitor.

Can’t find the reason in the user guide or forum and there is no obvious way of getting help from Ghost.

Thanks in advance for any steer as to where I have gone wrong and what change(s) I need to make.

If you’re on Ghost Pro (your domain is .ghost.io), you can always contact them at their support email: support@ghost.org

If you’re self-hosting, this community forum is a good place to ask!

I’m happy to try to help you figure this out, but I don’t understand your question. You said “Followed instructions to publish my first post, but a couple of days later its still not visible when I EXPLORE Ghost as a visitor.”

You mean when you go to your Ghost site’s url (without the /ghost), you don’t see the post? Or do you mean something else? (I think it’s the capitalized explore that’s confusing me, because there is a “Ghost Explore” that shows a selection of Ghost sites from around the web, but I wouldn’t expect a new site with one post to appear on it.)

Hi Cathy,

Thank you for your kind offer to help.

I realised that I hadn’t fully completed the process to add my site, and having done so it now seems to be discoverable to a visitor to Ghost.

Whilst I have some expertise in my subject matter which is highly quantitative, I’m very new to publishing so its been a bit of a learning curve.
